No water. Absolutely no water.
This afternoon, our pump died (we get our water from deep into the ground), and left the faucets dry as the Sahara. Some kind of electrical problem, according to a handy friend of ours, and electricians work during daylight hours.
So – we’ve brought water home in plastic canisters, and I’ve done the dishes after heating water on the stove. We use buckets to flush, a shower is out of the question, and I think I’ll have a glass of wine in a minute.
If it lasts, we’ll have to go over to cognac.
Stumble it!

When we had well water the pump would go out each time the power was out. In a blackout we’d have no electricity or water. Glad we moved. Hope your water is back on before you read this.
